  Abstract

Breathable waterproof performance fabrics have been developed to protect the human body from external moisture, and it is used in various forms. So, there are various test methods for evaluating these, and those are utilized for quality control. However, the test method for evaluating the functionality of slide fasteners is extremely limited in reality beside physical characteristics. In the reason, it is true that the assurance of functionality cannot be guaranteed in terms of finished products. Especially in military goods, the penetration of a small amount of moisture or water through sub-materials in extreme cold conditions has also caused fatal consequences. So it has become an urgent task of developing evaluation method in order to prevent these situations. In this research, we investigated the waterproof evaluation method used in the past and wanted to develop an appropriate test method so that these can be applied to slide fasteners. Therefore, by investigating the test method through preparation of samples, use of protective jigs, it was possible to develop a discriminating test method. Finally, it was expected that it could contribute to the improvement of product quality by applying to future munitions related standards.
